Thanks for the report!

It’s probably the change in the module header.  When I first wrote 
committer.scm I intended to use it to automate simple package 
updates (for mass updates of CRAN packages).  That never required 
changes to the module header.  I’m sure this can be fixed by 
merely ignoring changes to that form.
